Re: Kids at Coachella

search for 'kids at coachella' and you'll see a few threads answering every ? you may have.

I took my son at age 3, but know a few things

ear plugs are a must (get high end over the ear plugs)
don't plan on your kid being there all day - a few hours then take back home - if that's not possible don't bring em
there is a ton of walking - bring a stroller...yes I know your kid can walk and he can walk a lot now, but no where near the amount the festival will require. Again this is from 2 years of experience doing this.
don't try or expect to get close to any of the stages
I have seen parents with their kids 'taken away' by security whom are 'messed up' - so don't plan on using before or during your time (should not have to say)

my son had a ton of fun with the music and the arts...esp loved the robot, but know you must have a stroller!

read the other threads from past years to get a much better idea of what to do and not to do to maximize your experience.

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!

Re: Kids at Coachella

Just spray LSD in your children's eyes at home, and save us the trouble of hearing your kid's bad trip for three and a half miserable days on the fields. Please. Have children responsibly. If you don't buy it a ticket, it's not a guest.

Re: Kids at Coachella

Where is everyone staying?
This is my fifth coachella, but first for our son and he will turn five the following weekend.!
Trying to test it out for next year only doing two nights with our kiddo..
Any other tips to share?
I want hear them
How old are your lil ones?
Everyone still use strollers

Re: Kids at Coachella

We are staying 15 minutes away at a house this year. Bringing grandma so we can take him for a short amount of time each day. Try to avoid being out at hottest period of the day. Be ready to leave when you might not want to yet. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion happen in kids MUCH QUICKER than for adults. Get him to shade often. We took our son at 3 and we only saw a couple of hours each day. We also had a few friends who helped watch him as well when we wanted to watch a headline show and they didn't. We also used a stroller to get around. Not bringing one this year because he'll only be seeing one or two acts a day and then we'll either drive him back or have grandma pick him up at drop off spot.

Re: Kids at Coachella

Kids should only be there for a few hours during the day.
Parents with young kids shouldn't keep them up till midnight so you can see the show.
Note parents if u are on drugs or drunk security will escourt u to the police where you may face child endangerment charges.
Having them call a family member to get ur kid while u get hauled away isn't my idea of fun...
Be smart - I took my son for a few hours in the day do the same...then take them home. Coachella isn't Disneyland...well it is for adults.
